A Loss

Fear usually gripped my nerves 
I dreaded broken bottles my heart perchance be served
To a wetland I could lose you
Little I thought of the deadwood 
Ready I to send to the urn any jostler
Alas the heart I guarded against the living,
had a suitor waiting at the great gulf course in the sky
I couldn't compete with his riz 
He snatched you with ease. 
All I have now are memories 
I am pained by your silence, Amy
Tell me you hate it where you are,please
